Very Good 9 hole course. Reasonable priced. Enjoyed my outing and didn't play bad either. I'd recommend it.

Whoever is working the pro shop / answering calls, was VERY rude. I have a rain check from Mary Calder that just expired, so I was calling to see if they would honor it. The woman had the worst attitude. Im not upset that they wouldn't honor it, but to be talked to the way that she did is not acceptable. When I told her she was being very rude for no reason, she hung up? I was left a little confused as to why she acted that way. Either way, the course is pretty decent for the price, but they get a 1 star because of this interaction.

Played for the first time early this morning. Paul helped me at the pro shop. I gotta tell you, I love his honesty. I was advised of the conditions prior to play. Here’s what I’ll tell you… were the tee boxes a little rough and fairways a little rough… sure, I’ll give you that. However, the greens… that was impressive! This course is 10000% playable. Great value for the money. Hoping they get their equipment back to snuff, because if this was bad, their good must be great. Also… loved the industrial feel with the local plants and what not. It felt like Savannah. Can’t wait to play again and upgrade this 4star to 5!!!

Well, I hate giving bad reviews however, the course is in terrible condition. Unfortunately it's the worst course I've ever played. Fairways were over grown, greens were scorched. Also, beware if you're playing 18 the back 9 is just the front 9 but from the Blues. This wouldn't be a problem if they made that clear since that's not a normal course thing. It does state this on their website. But unless you go there to read about their course you wouldn't know. The photo between the feet is in the MIDDLE of the fairway. Well all of the photos are from middle of Fairways. Edit: It rains on every course in the nation, I've never seen one like this blamed on rain. The tee box directly infront of the club house is in terrible shape, the next 2 Fairways after the ones in the photo are just as bad, so it's not just the one in the photo. It's okay if the course is a work in progress, but you should tell the golfers who are paying that it is a "Work in progress" before they go out. I do appreciate the reply from the ownership and offering a refund. The staff was extremely friendly at the shop. And I hope to see reviews with pictures that show it's improved.
